lStaggers are caused by injuries

others are not. If any injury to
the skull it is only of temporary
character. the horse that has

A HISER'S MISERABLE END.
DYING FROM EXPOSURE, WITH A
SNUG FORTUNE IN HIS TRUNK.

There died in DamariscOtta, Me-,
last week Nathaniel \. Pike,
miser, formerly a well known law
yer. Forty years ago Pike, then a
lank, long.limbed, gaunt faced,
dull-eyed six.tOoter, arrived IN
Damariscotta from the western
part of the State, taught a school
one term, then studied law and be.
came a partner Of Hon. Ezra B.
French, member of Congress in
1858. Pike was ignorant but vain,
and was always the butt of the
town and the victim of pranks.-
His first wife was eccentric, wore a
bloOmer costume and carried a
cane. She left him, went to Massa-
chusetts and became spiritualistlc
doctress. Pike got a divorce,
married, was again divorced, and
his second wife is now a lunatic.-
For years Pike lived alone IN
squalid hut, with no companions
save a dog. No tramp wore more
tattered clothes. He never bought
a newspaper, deprived himself of
the neceSsarles of life and became
so misery that to save the expense
of fire wood he would cook up a
weeks supply of corn and potatoes
and then let his fire 90 out, going
to the neighborS occasionally to
get warm. At one time, when
boarding at hotel, he contracted
to eat only one meal day to save
expense. During the zero weather
this month he contracted pneu-
monia. Two days before he died
he heard a hen cackle, aud went to
the barn at the risk of his life,
saying:
~ couldn't have that egg freeze
A physician was summoned to
attend him, and found him sitting
In his rags before a green wood
fire. The doctor ordered him put
to bed, but Pixies only reply was;
"Don't come again unless 1 send
for you; can't stand the expense"
He was asked 10 send for two
by his first wife who are !
doing well out west, but refused,
as he thought he would have to
pay their fare. The doctor visited |
the sick man four times, and each |
time, in spite OF his peremptory |
orders, he found Pike sitting in his
chair. He died in the chair. In |
IN old trunk Deighbors found a
inc suit of clothes and $4,000 in |
bills, coin and securities. This |
will go to his two daughters.

Ya[lnus CnIo[S In MIX.

The characteristic white color Of
milk has been attributed to differ
ent causes. The National Live
Stock Journal claims that it Is due
to the casino in the milk. But
milk is not generally OF a pure
white color. 1t varies in respect
to shades as it does in richness by
breed and feed, the latter some
times giving different and very de-
cided hues. AS Affected by breed
the Guernseys give it the deepest
yellow. Their milk, like their but
ter, is sometimes so deeply tinged
as to approximate an orange red.
The Jerseys, the Brittanys, the
Kerrys and the Devons all give
milk of high color, while the Dutch
Ayrshires and ShorthOrns turn out
a paler product when all are living
upon similar food. The cause of
this difference is not easy to explain
in a positive way.
1t is a matter Of common Obser-
walton among dairymen that the
yellow color in the flowers of yell
low daisy and of dandelion when
in full blossom is carried directly
into the milk and gives intensity
to its yellow shade and to the but
ter made from it. Carrots are we'll
known to act the same way and are
often employed to give a deeper
color to milk and butter. The
juices of other plants watch have a
decided color of any shade are liza
BILE to, and do, occasionally carry |
their peculiar tints into milk and |
into other animal products. Thus |
the coloring matter in madden, tu-
meric, annattO and other vegetable
containing strongly col
ored juices make their impression
upon milk and other secretions.

Scientific Farming Pays.

Farmers are gradually awaking
to the fact that scientific farming
under practical control pays and
that in the near future extern
sive farming will be the only kind
that will stand the money test.
The richest soils under crude cul-
ture and poor management fail to
produce as profitable returns as do
worn out soils cultivated by i'm.
proved methods. In substantial
tion of this statement is the fact
that the average of the last FIVE
hsrvests in the west was twenty
nine and a fraction bushels of ce.
reals per acre, while the New Eng
land states, with good culture and
liberal applications of fertilizers,
yielded thirty and fraction bush.
els per acre. The work of pro.
gressive men like Parish Furman,
who increased the yield on sixty.
four acres of scrub land from eight
to one hundred bales Of cotton by
extra culture and generous manur.
ing, is doing the whole country a
service. But he does not stand
alone in the good work. In all
sections OF the country progressive
farmers are increasing, along with
experiment stations and farms, and
the result is a gradual increase of
product per acre, with the margin
of profit widened and the general
condition of farmers improved.

GLEAAINGS.

The practice of allowing parsley
to remain where the seed was sown
without the plants being even
thinned out is a great mistake. It
may be very well, perhaps, if the
young plants are Trimmed out a
suitable distance apart as soon as
they are large enough. But then
it Is tar preferable to transplant
the young plants as soon as
they are of suitable size.-
The plants for this purpose
should be from seed sown in March,
and if they are put out early in
June in good ground, in rows one
foot apart each way, they will
make fine, handsome plants by the
autumn, and furnish capital sup
ply of fine parsley all the winter
A good way to find out whether
seeds will sprout, is to fill a gallon
crock nearly full of mellow soil and
cover with one end of piece of
muslin twice as large as the crock,
Wet through and through with hot
water. Sprinkle the seeds on the
cloth, throw the other end Of it
oyer them, put half an inch of soil
on top, and keep in warm place
for four or five days. Then turn
back the cloth and see what you
have.
If the farmer owes no one for his
land, is prudent and industrious,
dIversifes his crops and is true
to his business, he is better provid-
ed for, and is less troubled by hard
times, than if engaged IN any other
calling.
Lime, wood ashes and old iron
placed around the roots of declin-
ing fruit trees have a very benef-
clal effect. These fertilizers re-
store the trees to a healthy con-
dition and also greatly improve the
fruit in quality and quantity.
To allow COW 10 fall off in flesh
while giving milk for butter-mak-
ing, is a serious mistake, which
can be easily detected by the ex-
pert when the butter is placed up
on the market.
Judicio us applications of paint,
even now, may be made, whereby
appearances of things may be
much improved.
BY blowing under a crop when
it is full of sap and water it very
rapidly decays and enriches the
soil, while if it is not plowed until
the plant has become matured 1t
will have tendency to cure and |
turn into straw, and It will conse-
quently take it long while to
sufficiently decay to become a fertl-
lizer and be in condition to be |
taken up by the soil.
